PROFESSIONAL PROFILE & QUALIFICATIONS
Dr. Christian R. Komor is an Earth Systems Science advisor, clinical psychologist, author, and operational leader with a 40-year track record of managing complex health systems, executing institutional reform, and designing large-scale climate intervention policy. Raised in the back-to-nature stewardship movement, Dr. Komor published his first op-ed addressing concrete and carbon pollution in 1976—well prior to the formalization of modern climate policy frameworks. 
His multidisciplinary background bridges high-stakes clinical leadership, crisis response, federal policy advisory, and multi-state carbon removal infrastructure. 
 

KEY CLIMATE & SCIENTIFIC LEADERSHIP
White House Office of Climate Policy Consultant (2021): Advised White House Executive Office of the President climate staff on carbon removal frameworks, directly contributing to the research and development provisions incorporated into federal infrastructure legislation (H.R. 3684). 
 

Developer, Interstate SkyCarbon Blueprint (2025–Present): Authored and developed the multi-volume Interstate SkyCarbon Blueprint, establishing the operational and financial model to integrate Direct Atmospheric Carbon Removal (DACR) with hyperscale data centers and Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) across more than 20 U.S. state governments. 
 

Lead Strategist, Climate Deadline Alliance: Directs national educational campaigns focused on atmospheric carbon dynamics, biophysical feedback risks (G_"ESS" ≈4.76), and the 450" ppm"  critical threshold. 
 

Constitutional & Environmental Litigation (2019–2022): Filed groundbreaking constitutional litigation against federal agencies seeking First Amendment protections and emergency action within the context of systemic climate risks (CV-19-00293-TUC; CV-22-00077-TUC). 
 

OPERATIONAL, CLINICAL & CRISIS MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE
Multidisciplinary Executive Practice: Founded, built, and managed a complex, multi-location healthcare practice. Oversaw multi-million-dollar operational budgets, directed clinical staff, and supervised the design, financing, and physical construction of a major office facility. 
 

Institutional Program Director (Correctional Health): Spent five years designing, managing, and operating clinical programs within the Michigan Department of Corrections "behind the wall" at the nation’s largest walled maximum-security prison. 
 

Para-Military & Emergency Service: Attained the rank of Captain serving in Search and Rescue ground teams with Sheriff’s Departments and as an aircrew operator with the USAF Civil Air Patrol, gaining extensive experience in emergency logistics, crisis command, and aerial search operations. 
 

Public Education & Scientific Authorship: Author of 26 books—including Direct Atmospheric Carbon Removal (2020), Carbon Negative Shot (2023), and The Emperor's New Clothes and the Climate Clock (2025). Taught clinical and educational seminars to professional audiences across more than 100 U.S. cities.

LAW AND GOVERNMENT

Dr. Christian Komor is a Former White House Earth Systems Science Consultant, clinical psychologist, and author running for Governor of Colorado in 2026. In 1976 Christian wrote his first Op-Ed on concrete and carbon pollution. During a 40-year career he has run complex healthcare groups, managed budgets, built teams, and designed and supervised the construction and operation of a large multidisciplinary healthcare office. Christian spent five years creating and operating programs for the Michigan Department of Corrections. He attained the rank of Captain while serving as a Search and Rescue ground team operator with several Sheriff’s Departments and in the skies with the USAF Civil Air Patrol. Since 1992 Dr. Komor has authored 26 books and lectured to healthcare professionals in over 100 cities across the U.S. Between 2019 and 2021, he brought constitutional litigation against the federal government seeking First Amendment protections within the context of the climate emergency.

​

​Dr. Komor ran for Governor in 2018 on a climate change platform — losing to an ice cream salesman. In 2021, he advised White House Executive Office climate staff, contributing to the development of carbon removal provisions in H.R. 3684. ​In 2024, Dr. Komor worked with dozens of federal legislators and state governors as a nationally recognized expert in climate intervention and carbon removal, coordinating state-level responses. ​In 2026, Dr. Komor ran again to garner attention for climate change as an Independent for Colorado Governor. His platform — Four Cornerstones, 21 Deliverables, One Deal to Rebuild — includes restoring middle-class Colorado through affordable housing and affordable healthcare, building the Interstate SkyCarbon Blueprint as the largest working-class jobs program in Colorado history, strengthening public safety and school safety, protecting Colorado against federal overreach, revolutionizing education, funding veterans’ empowerment, rebuilding civic organizations, elevating environmental protection and water security, and holding corporations accountable for the costs they’ve been dumping on Colorado families for 45 years. He ended the race with an estimated following of 85,000 to 250,000 voters.

"We have the technology to build megaton-class industrial Direct Air Carbon Removal (DACR) facilities, fused with hyperscale data centers whose waste heat makes DACR finally affordable. Producing carbon-negative concrete, steel, road aggregate, and plastics — plus R-744 refrigerant to cool the datacenter's chips — SkyCarbon campuses will use 50 percent less capture energy than conventional liquid-solvent systems. Sharing on-site, off-grid renewable energy with no long-haul transmission loss, each campus will recycle every joule that flows through it, generate its own fuel from the CO₂ it captures, and run on 100 to 300 MW of onsite clean power. Climate change and hyperscale data centers are both massive problems — which evaporate when fused together."     - Dr. Christian R. Komor
